Post her dream debut opposite
the Shah Rukh Khan in Box Office hit ‘Om Shanti Om’, Deepika Padukone became
the overnight cynosure of Bollywood. Just a few flicks old, Deepika is
already making waves in B-town and is looked on as one of the most promising
stars. Buzz has it that ‘Love Aaj Kal’ being her much-anticipated flick;
Deepika is desperately waiting for its release.

News has it that Deepika
Padukone recently got sentimental on the last day shooting of ‘Love Aaj
Kal.’ The long legged actress became so fond of the junior crew that she
took the production assistants, assistant directors and costume team for
a surprise dinner party. With fifteen of them visiting a posh Delhi restaurant,
known for its scrumptious Italian delicacies, Deepika and the crew-members
had the terrace reserved for them.

Talking about the impromptu
dinner party, Deepika said, “It was a very informal thing. All of us are
of the similar age group and we got along splendidly while shooting.” Deepika
maintained, “We had been together for so long during the shooting that
we had become like a family. And the dinner was absolute fun. We spent
the evening remembering the time we spent together, laughing at internal
jokes and spilling secrets.

Maximum couples in Bollywood
prefer to remain tightlipped on their relationship but Deepika Padukone
from the first day onwards spoke candidly about her relationship with Ranbir
in public but now she is repenting on making her relationship an open matter.

"When we got into a relationship,
we decided to be open about it. Otherwise there would be reports about
us being spotted holding hands, kissing, hugging, etc. Since we were so
clear about our relationship, we had nothing to hide. I thought people
would respect that. But it didn't work out that way," Deepika said.

Deepika is very depressed
about paparazzi following them and taking their pictures. "We both have
families and very respectable families. People who take pictures of us
secretly must have families and boyfriends and girlfriends. We've now decided
not to talk about our friendship. At the end of the day no one is going
to see our films because we're a couple," said the actress.

Being a promising newcomer
and a couple, she receives many offers with Ranbir as co-star but did not
sign any of them yet as they are waiting for the right script.

Apart from ‘Love Aaj Kal’,
she has in her kitty Sajid Khan’s comedy ‘Houseful’.
